In Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, a Dawn Stone evolves male Kirlia into Gallade or female Snorunt into Froslass. Those are the two Dawn Stone evolution paths listed for these games.
Which Pokémon evolve with a Dawn Stone?
| Pokémon | Required gender | Evolution |
|---|---|---|
| Kirlia | Male | Gallade |
| Snorunt | Female | Froslass |
The gender condition is essential: a female Kirlia does not meet the listed requirement for evolving into Gallade, and a male Snorunt does not meet the requirement for evolving into Froslass. Pokémon Database describes the Dawn Stone in Scarlet and Violet as “A peculiar stone that can make certain species of Pokémon evolve.”
How to use a Dawn Stone
- Check that your Kirlia is male if you want Gallade, or that your Snorunt is female if you want Froslass.
- Use the Dawn Stone on that Pokémon to trigger its item-based evolution.
These evolutions are triggered by using the item, not by simply leveling up the Pokémon.
One confirmed way to obtain a Dawn Stone
Serebii’s Dawn Stone item entry lists completing the Paldea Pokédex as an acquisition method. That entry supports this as one way to obtain the stone; it does not establish a complete list of every way to find or receive one.

- Only one code for a Hisuian Zoroark can be used in either the Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet game. Upon purchase of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, an email with your code will be sent to the email address registered to your Nintendo Account. From the in-game menu, go to the Poké Portal, then select Mystery Gift, select Get with Code/Password, and then enter your code.
- The Mystery Gift option can be found within the Poké Portal menu option in the X menu after you unlock the feature in the Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet game. (This occurs after about 1 to 1.5 hours of gameplay, though individual gameplay time may vary.) An internet connection and a Nintendo Account is required to redeem the item in game. A Nintendo Switch Online membership is not required. Each item can only be redeemed once.
